INTRODUCTION. 



I. SKETCH OF LESSING'S LIFE. 

In Gotthold Ephraim Lessing we have to consider one 
who prepared the way for modern German writers; one 
who broke the bonds of the old, formal style, and who 
did away with the influence of the French on German 
literature; one who first showed to the people of his 
native land the beauty and the strength of English litera- 
ture, and who finally wrought in them the demand for a 
literature distinctively their own. 

Lessing was born in Kamenz, Saxony, January 2 2d, 
1729. His father was "pastor primarius" of the town, 
and his mother was the daughter of her husband's prede- 
cessor. The father was an intelligent and well-educated 
man, himself a writer to some extent, but poor and with a 
large family. Lessing's parents intended him for a cler- 
gyman, and to this end he was sent to St. Afra's School, 
in Meissen, one of three schools maintained for the edu- 
cation of Lutheran pastors. The main study here was 
that of the classics, in which Lessing took great delight. 
It is supposed that he gained his first interest in the 
drama from his readings in Plautus and Terence at this 
time. While at school he wrote some poetry and a little 
play entitled "Damon; or, True Friendship." He also 
began here " The Young Scholar." 



IV 

Having completed the course, Lessing left this school 
before the appointed time, and by means of a scholarship 
went in 1746 to the University of Leipzig. Here he first 
met men of talent, and began to mingle with the world, 
of which he was always fond. He is shown to us at this 
time as gay and brilliant, learning from men as well as 
from books, and delighting in the theatre. He now com- 
pleted " The Young Scholar," which was played with 
considerable success at the Leipzig theatre. This play, 
like all others Lessing wrote at this time, was modelled 
on the French drama, especially on that of Moliere. 
These plays show marks of talent, but are not of great 
interest except to the student. 

It was natural that Lessing's pursuits at this time 
should not please his parents, but after a visit to his 
home he succeeded in convincing them that theology 
was not his forte, and he thereupon became ostensibly a 
student of medicine. After a short time, however, the 
theatre being closed, and Lessing in debt in behalf of 
some of the actors, he started for Berlin. His first effort 
failed, as he was taken ill at Wittenberg, and on recov- 
ering, attempted to continue his studies there. But he 
remained only a short time, and finally reached Berlin 
toward the end of 1748. 

During the first part of his stay in this city Lessing 
earned his living chiefly by translating, studying at the 
same time Spanish and Italian. He also wrote in 1749 
two plays, " The Jews " and " The Freethinker," and in 
1750 " The Treasure " and several sketches. About this 
time he began his career as critic by starting with his 
friend Mylius a review entitled Contributions toward the 
History and Improvement of the Theatre , only four num- 



bers of which appeared, however. In 175 1 he became 
connected with the Voss Gazette, and during this period 
became known through his criticisms on Klopstock's 
11 Messiah." At the end of 1751 he went to the Univer- 
sity of Wittenberg for further study, the classics again 
claiming his chief attention. He returned to Berlin in 
about a year, with the degree of Master of Arts. It was 
during this stay at Berlin that he formed a friendship 
with Moses Mendelssohn and Frederick Nicolai, the 
three remaining close friends all their lives. 

Lessing again occupied himself with translations and 
criticisms, and in the years 1753-55 published six vol- 
umes of collected works. In 1755 he wrote, with Mendels- 
sohn, a criticism entitled " Pope a Metaphysician," di- 
rected against an essay-subject chosen by the Berlin 
Academy of Sciences. During this year also he pro- 
duced his first drama of note, " Miss Sara Sampson." 
This play was modelled, not like his early dramas, upon 
French lines, but upon English ones, being a story of 
ordinary middle-class life. It was a great success upon 
the stage and marked a new epoch in the German theatre. 

In 1755 Lessing returned to Leipzig, after having 
spent three years in Berlin. From Leipzig, in May, 
1756, he started on what was to be a long tour as com- 
panion to a young man named Winkler, but the Seven 
Years' War broke out in the autumn of this year, and the 
journey, which had only reached Holland, was brought 
to a sudden close. After a short stay in Leipzig, during 
which he sketched the plans for "Emilia Galotti," not 
finished until several years later, he returned to Berlin in 
1758. 

During this year Lessing wrote, in conjunction with 



VI 



Nicolai and Mendelssohn, the "Literary Letters." 
These appeared periodically, and were ostensibly criti- 
cisms of current literature, but in reality the subjects 
furnished texts for far more important discussions, and 
the influence of these papers has been very great. His 
studies in Greek tragedy resulted this year in a one-act 
prose play, entitled "Philotas." In 1760 Lessing went 
to Breslau as secretary to Colonel von Tauentzien, gov- 
ernor of the city and director of the mint. He stayed in 
Breslau for five years, finding time for much studying 
and writing. In 1765 he was back in Berlin, and soon 
finished " Minna von Barnhelm, ,, on which he had worked 
while in Breslau. This drama was the best he had so 
far written, was thoroughly German, and had a great suc- 
cess when first played in Berlin. The next year "Lao- 
koon" was published. There is no space here to discuss 
this great critical work, a comparison between poetry 
and painting. It has been widely read and translated, 
and occupies a place almost alone in criticism, but Sime 
(" Life of Lessing ") thinks it did not have a very deep 
influence on German art. It is, however, one of the 
works by which its author will always be known. 

In 1767 Lessing left Berlin, where he never again set- 
tled, for Hamburg, to enter into a partnership in a print- 
ing establishment with one Bode, and also to become 
critic and adviser for the new National Theatre, estab- 
lished by a company of public-spirited citizens. The 
enterprise tailed after a short time, and its only impor- 
tant result was the collection of critical papers by Les- 
sing, entitled " Hamburg Dramaturgy/' which did much 
to shape the course of dramatic writing from this time 
on. It was also during his stay in Hamburg that he 



Vll 

aroused the enmity of a young professor — Klotz — who 
attacked him in writing until Lessing was forced to reply. 
In the course of the controversy he wrote the " Antiqua- 
rian Letters " and " How the Ancients Represented 
Death." 

The next important move that Lessing made was to 
Wolfenbiittel, where he was appointed by the Prince of 
Brunswick librarian of the Bibliotheca Augusta. While 
here he published, in 1772, the play of " Emilia Galotti." 
At about this time he became betrothed to Frau Eva 
Konig, the widow of a friend. They were not married 
for some ye^rs, owing to difficulties on one side or the 
other, but they were of great help to each other in their 
trials, and their letters have come down to us as testimony 
to their attachment and their good sense. They had need 
of both these, for Lessing was ill and wretched often, 
and Frau Konig, in Vienna, was trying to untangle her 
husband's business affairs, which he had left in a very 
involved state. 

In 1775 Lessing went to Italy with the young Prince 
Leopold. This was a journey he had long hoped to take, 
but in such company he was not independent, and the 
trip, about eight months in length, was not the source of 
pleasure and benefit that it might have been. On his 
return he was engaged for some months in trying to get a 
satisfactory arrangement as to his salary and position. 
This was finally adjusted, and Lessing and Frau Konig 
were married October 8th, 1776. They spent a happy year 
together, and then after giving birth to a son who lived 
only a few hours, Lessing's wife died January 10th, 1778. 

Some time previous to this Lessing had begun issuing 
from time to time some " Fragments " from the manuscript 



Vlll 

writings of a Frofessor Reimarus, who had left them to 
be published after his death. These writings gave rise 
to a long series of controversies on theology, in which 
Lessing upheld the liberal side. The discussion recalled 
to his attention a play which he had planned some years 
before, and which he now proceeded to finish. This 
play was " Nathan the Wise," written in verse, and pub- 
lished in 1779. Of this play Sime says: "It is prob- 
ably to 'Nathan' rather than to any other of his works 
that Lessing owes his European fame." 

In 1778 and in 1780 respectively were published 
" Ernst and Falk : Dialogues for Freemasons " and " The 
Education of the Human Race." These, with " Nathan," 
were his last works of importance. His health now be- 
came rapidly worse, and he died February 15th, 1781, 
aged fifty-two. 

As has been said, Lessing paved the way for the great 
literature of Germany. His genius was recognized by 
some during his lifetime, but his value has been clearly 
gauged by the world only recently. He was, moreover, 
a good man as well as a great one, and his struggles for 
a living and for a moderate amount of happiness seem 
pitiful to contemplate. But he enjoyed his work for its 
own sake, he had the consolations of friendship, and he 
had a disposition which inclined him to make the best 
of what he had. In his life and in his work he has left 
a great legacy. 

II. " EMILIA GALOTTI." 

This play, begun in Lessing's early years in Leipzig, 
and taken up again in Hamburg, was finally finished 
early in 1772, and put on the Brunswick stage. It met 



with great success, and has always been a favorite, not 
only in Germany, but in other countries as well. It has 
been translated into several languages. The play is a 
prose tragedy, based in its leading incident on the story 
of the Roman Virginia. 

Some writers consider " Emilia Galotti " Lessing's 
finest drama, but those who do not give it this rank 
acknowledge its great strength and power. Although 
the scene is laid in Italy, it pictures German courts of 
that time so accurately that some supposed Lessing to be 
representing the court of Brunswick. 

The plot is briefly this: Emilia is living with her 
mother at the royal capital, where she is being educated; 
her father, who is an enemy of the Prince, lives at a dis- 
tance. Emilia is admired by the Prince, who is young 
and sensual, and her betrothed is murdered that he may 
be out of the way of the Prince's schemes. Emilia is 
brought to the palace, where her mother and her father 
successively find her. The Prince has planned to have 
her kept near him, but Emilia, learning this, begs from 
her father a dagger that has been given to him by the 
Prince's former mistress, Orsina, for the purpose of killing 
the Prince. He yields the dagger to his daughter, seizes 
it again, and finally, driven by her solicitations and taunt- 
ing words, stabs her. Some critics claim that this catas- 
trophe was not necessary to avert Emilia' f s fate, but others 
consider it inevitable in the light of her character. 

The characters, with the possible exception of Emilia's, 
are clearly and forcibly drawn and consistent, and the 
movement of the plot is rapid and direct. The play as a 
whole marked an epoch.
